West Vancouver’s Sam Reinhart scored his first career NHL hat trick Sunday, potting three goals for the Buffalo Sabres in a 4-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets.
Reinhart scored with a sharp wrist shot just two minutes into the game before bouncing a pass in off a Winnipeg defenceman for a power play goal later in the first period. His third marker was an empty-netter that sealed the win for the Sabres.
Reinhart now has 12 goals and 19 points in 43 games this season, tying him for sixth in points amongst rookies.
